I’ve often eaten vegan meals that were more delicious than anything else I’ve ever eaten. Vegan cheese sauce is an art that I haven’t perfected, and yet when it works, my oh my it’s good!

I use fresh garlic and fresh onion in this recipe, because I don’t keep garlic powder or onion powder in my cupboard. I’ve never liked them as ingredients, always preferring the real thing. Obviously, they are way easier to use, so if you have them, go ahead and use them, but you’ll need much small quantities.

The Dijon mustard is important for flavour, but you can also use dry mustard powder – again, you’d have to use less.

Hi Arlee, yes. It has never replaced real cheese sauce for me, either – yet – sometimes I really want to stay away from dairy as it can cause congestion – at those times, this cheese sauce is a winner. Believe it or not, it does make a decent mac ‘n cheese!
